Optical planetary access links to return information from surface assets on Mars to orbiting spacecraft for subsequent relay back to Earth will be discussed. The capabilities that can be realized using such links will be presented for a presumed concept of operations at Mars. Autonomous acquisition and tracking using low-complexity optical terminals will also be discussed.
